Ribbons and Friendship

When I work on the Farmer's Wife blocks, I find myself trying to categorize certain techniques into groupings.
It makes it easier for me to keep things straight in my mind as I sew.
# 74 Ribbons#39 FriendshipA simple process where a smaller square is sewn to each side of a larger square or rectangle.
Understanding how to draft these is so much fun!
I can't thank Lori Holt enough for showing us her wonderful tutorials on drafting.
I now have 28 Farmer's Wife blocks up on my design wall.
Don't they just look so happy playing together?
Eventually these will all be set on point with sashing in between. I need to start thinking about what fabric will help each one stand out.

love the color choices. I think the color choices in the book are way too dark! I am going to put white sashing around mine to lighten up more, mine are colorful but I haven't used white.Karenhttp://karensquilting.com/blog/
